  • 5Fun and funny!

    Fun way to spend an evening in York! The stories were interesting and our guide, Lucie Fur was entertaining. Weather was good so it included a short Shambles walk which was nice.

  • 5Making Memories on the Ghost Bus Tour!

    This was a fun evening tour in York! We really enjoyed the 1960’s double decker bus and the guide! He was funny and entertaining and took us on several stops for stories around York. He had a few special effects that were very entertaining! This is a unique and fun way to start your evening in York!

About York

York is a walled cathedral city in northern England, a place of Roman and Viking history, medieval lanes and a vast Gothic minster.

York Minster, among the largest Gothic cathedrals in northern Europe, towers over the city, and its stained glass includes the Great East Window, one of the biggest areas of medieval glass in the country. Medieval walls, the longest in England, encircle the old centre and can be walked along the top. The Shambles, a narrow lane of leaning timber-framed buildings, was once the street of butchers.
